We produce award-winning work

The Campus

Study in the heart of the city

Media Design School is exactly where the action is at – situated in the centre of Auckland’s Central Business District. Right now we're located over eight different floors that cater to the needs of each digital discipline, but we've got a brand new campus coming for 2021. Even now, our campus is unlike any other design school in New Zealand.
